— they love you like the sea.
their love for you is as vast as the ocean and as intricate as what lays beneath its blanket of glittering foam.
they are the kisses hidden in both blanket and dawn, the laughter you’re drawn to even in crowded rooms; and the secret in-between scorned love letters.
often times, they’re calm and collected—yet other times it seems as if they’re threatening to swallow you whole to keep you within their grasp. they are complex, brilliant, mysterious—and you’re just like them, in a different font, per se.
they see everything but your heart, anything but your sleight of hand, all but your love. so they soon bring you ashore—where everything else is beautiful but the sea. because they aren't land, they aren't stable—they could not love you properly, and that's on them; not you or anyone else. just them, and they're fine with that. they're too much to handle, and through you they learn it the hard way.
